Specializing in education and research in management, HEC Paris offers a complete and unique range of educational programs for the leaders of tomorrow: Masters Programs, MBA, PhD, Executive MBA, TRIUM Global Executive MBA and Executive Education open-enrolment and custom programs.

Founded in 1881 by the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry and founding member of Université Paris-Saclay, HEC Paris has a permanent faculty, more than 4,400 students and over 8,000 managers and executives in training every year.

Master in Management - Grande Ecole

The Grande École curriculum is divided into a generalist phase and a specialization phase. The first phase concentrates on business fundamentals, while the second one focuses on acquiring an expertise (chosen according to the professional goals of the student). The unique structure of the curriculum enables students to acquire both an excellent grounding in general management and expertise in a specific field. We firmly believe this combination is the key success factor in training future leaders and making a lasting impact on the careers of our students. The second year of the Master’s program Cycle is composed of a specialized and professional curriculum, and the composition of a research paper.

Specialized Masters / MSc

Specialized Masters are one-year Master’s degrees taught in French. They are designed for students who already hold a Master’s degree in an other field and wish to specialize in a specific field of management. MSc programs are one-year Master’s degrees taught in English. They are designed for students who hold a Bachelor degree in any field from leading international universities.

MBA

Custom designed for managers between the ages of 25 to 35 with previous work experience averaging 6 years, the MBA program addresses both functional and crossfunctional skills, through a fundamental and a customized thread to cover all areas of management in depth. Highly selective, the program has around 250 participants per year, from 52 different nationalities with diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Participants gain hands-on, practical experience through seminars integrated into the curriculum, such as the MBA Tournament and the off-campus leadership seminar at St-Cyr Military Academy.

Executive MBA

The Executive MBA is a transformational experience which offers senior managers and executives from all around the world the opportunity to select one of the 8 majors that take place in 14 international locations, and also to take classes in any of its different tracks in France or Qatar.

The EMBA is an interactive and intensive program developed to provide executives with an understanding of the international business context, as well as the comprehensive, practical and innovative knowledge and skills they need, to put their vision into action.

TRIUM Global Executive MBA

TRIUM Global Executive MBA enables executives to understand the world, as it is today and will be tomorrow.

The faculty is central to knowledge creation and dissemination at HEC. Our 108 research faculty (over 66% from outside France) work on internationally acclaimed research in most of the major disciplines of management, reflecting the diversity of thought and cultures, the open-mindedness and the exacting intellectual standards promoted at HEC.

The permanent faculty is reinforced by affiliate professors bringing their academic and professional skills to HEC's students and program participants.

All these professors enhance HEC's courses and programs through their research work, original teaching materials, and personal interaction with the business world; they contribute to corporate reflection on management issues and are involved in national and international scientific community debates.

At HEC Paris, companies find what they are looking for: interns, young graduates, MBA graduates, executive education programs, professors to work with on research or teaching projects. Drawing from this positive experience, some of them decide to support HEC's development and become HEC corporate partners.

The HEC Paris UK office is delighted to invite you to a Masterclass with Professor Augustin Landier, professor at HEC Paris, PhD graduate from ENS and MIT, and Best Young Economis of France 2014.

During the masterclass, Prof. Landier will draw from his latest research to explain how the use of big data is profoundly changing the investment industry and giving new material for practitioners eager to predict future performance, and academics keen on understanding market participants’ behaviour. Here are a few examples:

Valuation – To estimate the fundamental value of companies, models can now make use of data such as Glassdoor or Linkedin which can help evaluate the organizational capital of a company, its ability to attract and retain talent etc.

Behavioral Finance – Investor sentiment and dispersion in beliefs can be directly evaluated using social media or survey data. Such measures can be useful in predicting risk and returns.

Forensic finance – The existence of fraud can be assessed by combining large market data with statistical analysis in a manner that is much more extensive than in the past

Impact investing and ESG – access to new data is reviving the possibility to invest in companies that reflect values that investors might ant to express in their portfolio.

Prof. Landier explains: “The proliferation of new datasets has drastically important implications for the financial industry: Whether you are an asset manager, a prime-broker or a regulator, Big data is raising new critical questions and opportunities for new business models.
